The Sleeper - Vintage 1970s Cartier Tank Stepped ref: 15716 / 1543 AKA Cristallor Jumbo XL Finding references for some vintage Cartier watches can be difficult. I'm planning to post some references on certain vintage Cartier watches and I will start with ...  

I have been wondering about this particular model since seeing an example on one of the Theo and Harris videos and you answered all my questions and then some. I look forward to your next post in this series!

There is a video on youtube about this model. Search on youtube for Cartier 15716

Dear All, Could you kindly assist me in finding a supplier for this style crown? i.e. pointed NY crown for Cartier 15716. Regards, Bradley

Some models never become anything, just because the design is not strong enough. And the Cristallor is in my opinion such model. I doubt that Cartier will ever re release this watch again. Take for instance the 'Pebble' watch, designed by Cartier London, ...  

I wasn't really sure, I just thought that it was such a strong design. Cool that Cartier celebrates its 50th. anniversary. GEO

The reference numbers 1543 is wrong. It should be 5512116 for the Paris and London versions.

In my knowledge the stepped tank is not equal to Cristallor in so many ways. Try google Cartier 78095/78096 and you will know the difference. And the model you showed could be gold plated whereas the Cristallor is 18K gold both in Jumbo and XL size.
